Star Gazing
Back when I was younger, I wondered why there are so many stars in the sky. I wondered where they come from. I used to love star gazing in our rooftop and I would wish upon every star that seemed to twinkle more brightly and radiantly among the other gaseous masses in the night sky. I would wish upon them that my dreams would come true.
Now that I’m a bit older, I’ve realized that fulfilling my dreams is not as easy as wishing upon a star. There’s more to it than just believing that it would come true. It is maybe just the first step because along the way still much is required – a lot of hard work, more patience, even more perseverance, and most importantly, a huge amount of faith.
Well, I still do wish upon stars. After all, there wouldn’t be a heaven full of them if it weren’t meant for us to have endless dreams. And no matter how countless and vast those stars may appear, God created them all. As Isaiah 40:26 puts it, “Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” So if He takes care of the stars, how could He not take much more care of me? That is why everything that I hope for, all that I long for are lifted up to Him, because He alone can make my dreams come true.
